Honkai: Star Rail, Activate!

(Volume IV: Voyage to the Terminus)

The first thing she heard when her consciousness returned was the sound of cloth tearing.

Immediately after, scalding liquid splashed onto her face.

She was all too familiar with this sound – the noise of a human body being pierced by a blade.

Nice, Unit 4 starts right in the middle of a murder scene, how thrilling? The surroundings didn't sound chaotic, it shouldn't be a battlefield or anything… so it's a murder then.

Just what in the world is going on…?

That's right, she was now Li Bei's Unit 4, but the current situation seemed a little off. Although she could hear the sounds around her, her body felt incredibly heavy and difficult to control, like she had become a vegetable…

This won't do. I spent so much to create this alt account, if it's GG right from the start, my mentality is going to explode right here and now!

Thinking this, she disregarded everything else and focused all her consciousness on controlling her body. After exerting all her strength, she finally managed to make her fingertip, as if rusted and stuck, twitch slightly.

Then, in the next moment, everything heavy around her suddenly lightened, and the control of her entire body seemed to instantly return, allowing her to abruptly open her eyes and see the world.

And the first thing she saw was a big face.

"Are you alright?" the owner of the big face asked with concern.

She only blinked her eyes – This person… looks a bit familiar?

Before her was a grey-haired young man, quite handsome, with a hint of that same "wisdom" in his eyes as Kiana and the others… though now his face was stained with blood, breaking his original gentle and approachable aura.

She had seen this bro before… Having experienced so many situations, Li Bei had already crammed all sorts of game and manga knowledge, she would definitely recognize the protagonist of this recently mega-popular game.

The character players play in Honkai: Star Rail, nicknamed Stellaron Hunter, Grey Hair Protagonist, Galaxy Baseball Bat Man, and also the protagonist of the story – probably?

But in any case, it was certain that he would be a very important part of the story, which meant… his energy acquisition efficiency would definitely be high!

So, did she even need to think about what to do next?!

If it wasn't some ridiculous name players came up with, she remembered his name should be…

---|---

Caelus felt a little dizzy right now. Even though he felt like his brain should be fresh off the assembly line, he was already a bit confused about the current situation.

Just now – probably less than a few hours ago, he had been inexplicably awakened by two people, and then inexplicably followed them to deal with a lot of monsters called something like the Antimatter Legion.

And then… he didn't know what happened, it seemed like he inexplicably got separated from them.

Looking back on the past, his brain was blank; gazing at the future, it was a vast expanse of confusion – just when he was standing in this space station, questioning his life and feeling lost, another person suddenly appeared… In short, after some things happened, he followed that person all the way to this room that looked very secretly hidden.

There was nothing in the room except for something like a hibernation pod, and inside the pod lay a girl with a delicate face, as if meticulously calculated to perfectly match the definition of beauty.

Just as he was still wondering about the girl's identity, the person who led him here suddenly made a move, smashed the glass of the hibernation pod, and with a sharp blade, was about to kill the girl right there!

Caelus disregarded everything else and immediately intervened to stop him. Finally, after a fierce fight, he managed to gain the upper hand and pushed the blade tip, which was against his chest, back into the opponent's chest.

He didn't know the identity of this person, nor did he know why the person led him here, or why they wanted to kill the girl in the pod… Things just happened too fast, giving him no time to react, and everything ended in that hot blood.

And at this moment, the girl who was originally lying in the hibernation pod, seemingly asleep, suddenly showed a painful expression. Caelus then scooped her out from the nutrient fluid in the pod…

And then in that moment, the girl opened her eyes and stared blankly at him.

She reached out and gently wiped away the remaining bloodstains on his left cheek.

"Caelus?" she called out the name in confusion, seeming to not quite understand why she would say this word.

But Caelus felt like he might be even more confused than this girl, because he, with amnesia, had a hard time remembering his own name, so why would this girl in front of him know his name?

"Do you know me?" Caelus asked curiously, perhaps the girl in front of him was an acquaintance from before?

If so, maybe he could also learn something about his past…

Unfortunately, things weren't as good as he imagined. The girl just shook her head blankly, seeming to not quite understand what he was saying.

"Caelus, don't be afraid, we're here!"

With a loud bang, the door, which was already teetering on the brink of collapse due to violence, was unable to withstand the full force of the newcomer's kick and was kicked out of the frame, leaving only the pink-haired girl standing at the door, awkwardly frozen in place with her leg raised.

Then, she awkwardly lowered her leg, turned her head to look at the young man behind her who was helplessly facepalming, and muttered, "This… they shouldn't ask me to pay for it, right?"

"If I remember correctly, this door is a product specially ordered by Herta from the Corporation. It is said that the material used fragments fallen from the Amber Lord, and one door can buy a star system," the young man sighed. "No choice, March, we can only temporarily hand you over to Herta to work off the debt – don't worry, we'll redeem you when we raise enough money."

"Thank you, Dan Heng, you're so kind – the hell you are! Whose door would be so expensive?!"

Caelus looked towards the doorway, at the duo who were doing a comedy routine, the very people who had awakened him earlier. The pink-haired girl was called March 7th, and the young man was Dan Heng.

And as he moved, the girl in his arms also looked towards the two of them.

Yep, no mistake, this time the world this alt account rolled is Honkai: Star Rail, no doubt…

Although it's called Honkai, the only real old acquaintance from the Honkai world seemed to be Welt.

But since Welt existed, it meant that the world of Honkai: Star Rail and the Honkai Impact 3rd world should be connected… The Honkai world was now also connected to Blue Earth, so the possibility of her going to Blue Earth existed, however small?

But if possible, Li Bei hoped this kind of thing best not happen, after all, the combat power of the Honkai: Star Rail world was just too ridiculous – and her current alt account was a huge representative of that ridiculousness!

Name: Twilight (昼短Zhòu duǎn - Short days - Dusk)

Traits: Aeon Candidate, Seed of Terminus, Creation of Nous, Mayfly · Modified, Singularity Point

Skills: None

Important Items: None

Energy: 4,000,000

No skills, no items, but that was all unimportant now… After leaving 4 million as a reserve, Li Bei directly went all-in, throwing all the remaining energy into Unit 4 in one go.

Now, it's no exaggeration to say – Kevin is just a little brother.

With his meager skills, if he dares to appear in front of her now, she'll pluck off his Devil Trigger tail!
