Honkai Impact 3rd: Catching the Herrscher of Sentience at the Start

With that, and under Kevin's resentful gaze, he turned and walked toward the door without looking back.

However, just as his foot was about to step out the door, Doctor Mei's icy and authoritative voice rang out, "Who gave you permission to leave?" ]

--------------------------------

[Hearing Doctor Mei's words, Lin's steps suddenly halted, his whole body freezing in place as if electrocuted.

He slowly turned around, a fawning smile on his face, rubbing his hands together as he cautiously asked, "Mei, do you have any other instructions?"

At that moment, Doctor Mei crossed her arms in front of her chest, her gaze sharp as she stared directly at Lin, commanding in an unquestionable tone,

"Kneel beside Kevin!"

Upon hearing this, Lin was completely stunned on the spot, his face full of disbelief.

He instinctively turned his head to look at the kneeling Kevin, only to find the latter looking at him with a gloating expression, as if mocking him for being about to suffer the same fate.

"Uh... this isn't really appropriate, right? Whatever's going on between you two, I don't want to get involved..."

Lin stammered, trying to find a way out.

However, before he could finish his sentence, there was a "whoosh" sound, and Kevin sprang up and lunged at Lin with lightning speed.

In the blink of an eye, Kevin had successfully tackled Lin to the ground and pinned him down tightly, leaving no chance of escape.

Pinned beneath him, Lin struggled desperately, writhing and shouting loudly, "Kevin, let go of me!"

But Kevin remained unmoved. He firmly restrained Lin, his hands like iron clamps gripping Lin's wrists, leaving no gap for escape.

Due to the intense struggle, Lin's clothes were already disheveled, and his smooth, delicate shoulder was inadvertently exposed to the air.

"You're the one who set me up first! You must be taking revenge for me shutting you out earlier this afternoon!"

Despite this, Lin didn't stop resisting and continued shouting hoarsely, "Yamete!"]

Kiana ☆ widened her eyes and opened her mouth in shock, exclaiming repeatedly, 〈!!!〉

Mei ☆ also looked astonished, seemingly not expecting the story to unfold like this, 〈???〉

[Shenzhou Tablet] Fu Hua looked at the scene before her, momentarily at a loss for words. She could only shake her head helplessly and mutter, 〈This...〉

Himeko's cheeks flushed slightly. She gave a soft cough to hide her embarrassment, but the corners of her lips couldn't help lifting into a faint smile, 〈Ahem, what a mess this is~〉

[Magical Girl] Theresa was so shy she covered her face, only daring to peek through her fingers at the steamy scene, whispering, 〈Am I even allowed to watch this?〉

Tesla, 〈Tsk~ Joachim, that guy didn't do anything to you, right? You have to protect yourself when you're out there!〉

[Sit-up's King]Welt, 〈Mm.〉

Bronya, 〈Seele, be careful too.〉

Seele (White), 〈Seele will.〉

Seele (Black), 〈With me here, Seele will be fine.〉

Kevin, 〈.....〉

Fu Shi was laughing so hard she was clutching her stomach, tears nearly streaming down her face,

"Pfft, hahahahaha, I can't, this is killing me. You and Kevin actually had something like this happen, hahaha..."

Beside her, Fu Lin's face gradually turned black. He glared at Fu Shi with a mix of embarrassment and annoyance, muttering,

"Alright, alright, stop laughing or you'll cramp up."

Just then, Fu Shi's expression suddenly changed, and she began coughing violently.

"Cough cough! Cough... You... cough cough... jinx!"

"Here, have some water."

Coughing and pointing at Fu Lin, Fu Shi wore a face of both pain and annoyance. She took the water Fu Lin handed her and drank it all in one go, finally catching her breath.

["You two..."

Watching the two act so brazenly in front of her, Doctor Mei gritted her teeth, forcing the words out between them. Her voice was icy, as if it could freeze the air around her.

"Enough already!"

Before the words had even fully left her mouth, time seemed to freeze.

Only a second later, Kevin and Lin were both kneeling on the ground, sweating as they looked toward Doctor Mei.

Doctor Mei took a step forward, towering over Kevin and Lin as she looked down at them and asked, "Kevin, explain?"

Kevin swallowed nervously and stammered, "I-It was Lin who turned into you and came to see me. I didn't realize it wasn't you...

But before we could even do anything, you suddenly barged in, so really, nothing happened!"

After speaking, Kevin glanced at Doctor Mei's expression, silently praying that her anger would subside.

However, Doctor Mei's expression didn't ease at all after hearing his explanation. Instead, she let out a cold laugh and mocked,

"Oh? From the way you're speaking, it sounds like you're blaming me for coming at the wrong time? Seems like you were hoping something would happen!"

Hearing this, Lin trembled in fear. He quickly covered himself and looked at Kevin in panic, shouting, "Kevin, you don't actually have other thoughts about me, do you? I'm a guy! Even if I can turn into a girl, that's just for fun. There's absolutely no way anything could happen between us!"

Kevin glared angrily at Lin and said, "The only woman I've ever truly loved is Mei! If you hadn't purposely transformed into her to trick and seduce me, how would I have fallen for it?"

Lin scoffed and retorted mockingly, "Oh, sure, easy for you to say now! If you love Mei that much, why didn't you realize I was a fake?

Besides, when we first met, you weren't so loyal. I remember very clearly that you once said—if Su were a girl, you'd definitely... mmph!"

Cold sweat poured down Kevin's forehead as he quickly covered Lin's mouth, his face flushed,

"Don't bring up ancient history! I hadn't met Mei yet back then—if I had, I never would've said that!" ]

Kevin, 〈???〉

[ Doctor Mei took a deep breath, closed her eyes tightly, and tried to calm the storm of emotions inside her.

A moment later, she opened her eyes again, her gaze icy and piercing as she coldly interrogated,

"Whatever Kevin said before is his own business.

But why did you take my form to seduce Kevin, and even wear colored contacts to hide your unchangeable eye color? Who did you plan this with?"

As she spoke, Doctor Mei turned her head, her sharp gaze slicing like lightning toward the doorway.

The three people who had been peeking in from the hallway were so startled by the sudden glare that they flinched and frantically tried to withdraw their heads.

Seeing this, Kevin finally let go of Lin's mouth.

Lin's pupils darted around nervously, his eyes shifting toward the door from time to time.

Sweat began to bead on his forehead, trickling down his cheeks.

Faced with Doctor Mei's cutting interrogation and Kevin's gaze, Lin seemed flustered and responded haltingly,

"Th-this... um... well... how should I put this... no one gave me the idea, I just did it for some momentary fun, that's all!"

However, Doctor Mei was clearly not satisfied with that answer. She frowned slightly, her voice taking on a subtle, almost seductive tone as she gently said,

"Oh? Is that so? Don't you want that artificial intelligence, Prometheus?"

At these words, Lin's body jolted violently, his expression changing rapidly like a dramatic mask in Sichuan opera, replaced by sheer panic and fear.

"Aiya, don't be mad, alright? I'll tell you everything right now..."]
