I'm in Honkai Impact's Infinite Abyss!

Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Meeting Offline with Internet Friends



The temperature in France during the summer wasn't particularly high. Luo Lin and Ragnar arrived at their destination by car. They carried their luggage and bags, got off the car, and looked at the huge building in front of them.

"It's so big," Luo Lin exclaimed.

This place used to be a church, but it was later acquired by Schicksal and converted into an orphanage. Since Schicksal originated from a religious background, the organization carried a strong sense of faith. Many of the personnel stationed here were dressed as nuns, giving off an initial impression of vulnerability.

In reality, these nuns had received combat training and could readily drawout firearms and weapons from their robes. In the blink of an eye, they could transform into Schicksal's auxiliary forces. Anyone deceived by their appearance and thinking of causing trouble here would definitely regret it.

"Ah, it's the captain of the Valkyrie Assault Team!"

"Captain Ragnar!"

The nuns at the entrance exclaimed in surprise. They hadn't expected such a prominent figure to visit. They surrounded Luo Lin and Ragnar eagerly, taking their luggage and leading them inside.

"Thank you!"

Ragnar was accustomed to this scene. She smiled and interacted warmly with the nuns, effortlessly managing everyone's emotions. Her every move almost prompted screams of adoration from her admirers.

Meanwhile, Luo Lin, who was being ignored, found Ragnar's current demeanor somewhat familiar... who did she resemble?

"I *%k, Otto!"

Luo Lin felt a chill run down her spine as she recalled some things about Ragnar. This person seemed to have a connection with Otto, and she had even been present when Otto rescued Little Bianka, right?

Wow, am I already in Otto's little book called "Persons of Interest"?

Luo Lin scared herself with that thought. She watched Ragnar, who was still surrounded and unable to break free for a moment, and quietly followed the nun who was carrying their luggage into the orphanage.

The nun carrying the luggage greeted Luo Lin awkwardly, saying, "Sorry, things are not usually like this... I mean, Captain Ragnar used to be our instructor, and now she's our idol..."

"I understand, it's been a long time and you want to catch up," Luo Lin nodded. She looked around the orphanage. The building was kept very clean, with some oil paintings hanging in the corridors. Sunlight streamed through stained glass, creating a serene atmosphere.

However, this sacred atmosphere was shattered within seconds by the sound of commotion coming from a distance. Soon, a group of children came running out, laughing and playing.

Two of the children had mud-covered hands and pretended to be monsters, squinting their eyes and making roaring sounds. The child in front, trying to avoid them, ran so fast that he didn't notice the adults ahead in the corridor and collided with them, causing a clatter.

"Ouch... who's there? Oh! Granny Arianna..."

The children quickly realized they had collided with the wrong people. After getting up from the ground, they lowered their heads nervously, waiting silently for the nuns' scolding.

"You...!!"

Luo Lin watched as the nun called Arianna's face turned red, veins popping on her forehead. But then, she went from anger to laughter, almost squeezing out her words through her teeth, "How many times have I told you, no playing around inside the church, especially in the corridors! You, Albert! And you, Matt..."

Arianna pointed out each child's name, and they quickly realized the seriousness of the situation. Besides the nun they knew, there was also a stranger in a shiny uniform standing nearby, with a mud handprint on her clothes and a few scratches.

Feeling embarrassed, Luo Lin helped the children up from the ground, while the nuns were so angry that it seemed like they could breathe fire. She felt the atmospheric pressure weighing down on her, and she trembled along with the children.

One nun stepped forward and led the children away. Arianna stayed behind and apologized to Luo Lin repeatedly, "I'm really sorry, Miss Luo Lin... Your room is this way. Change into clean clothes first, and we'll take care of the dirty ones."

"Um, the children are very energetic."

Arianna smiled bitterly. "They're just too lively... sigh, Miss Luo Lin, please don't take it to heart. I'll make sure they reflect on their behavior... through labor."

She emphasized this point deliberately, then explained, "Schicksal doesn't allow... corporal punishment for children. This kind of practice doesn't happen in the orphanages directly managed by Schicksal."

"Most of the children here are victims of Honkai, losing their families at a young age..." Arianna added, opening the door to the guest room. "They mature early, but still retain the mischievousness and playfulness of children, perhaps as a way to combat the fear brought by disasters..."

"I see."

Luo Lin nodded and sat down on the chair, taking off her mud-stained uniform and handing it to Arianna. The nun examined the girl's body hidden under the uniform and sighed, "You have a really healthy body..."

"Really? I just exercise regularly..."

Luo Lin scratched her head, suddenly realizing that she was now a girl. Her cheeks warmed up slightly, but seeing she was also a girl, it wasn't so embarrassing.

"Just regular exercise wouldn't give you these muscle lines," Arianna said, "Can I feel your arms and back to check your physical condition?"

"...Sure."

The nun reached out and felt around Luo Lin's body, marveling, "Although I haven't carefully examined the physical condition of other logistics department members, I can tell that you're much better than most people."

Luo Lin thought of her colleagues who spent all day in the office playing with computers and nodded in agreement.

She opened her suitcase and took out another set of Schicksal uniforms, quickly changing into them.

Arianna looked at the identical sets of uniforms in the suitcase and was taken aback.

"Alright, I'll go check around the orphanage. Our voluntary work shouldn't be so urgent as to require us to start immediately, right?"

"No, no. Um..." Arianna watched Luo Lin excitedly leaving and shouted, "Although we're a bit remote here, there's a skilled tailor nearby. Let's go together another day..."

The girl only listened to a few words before dismissing the matter from her mind.

What tailor? Is it more important than seeing Little Bianka?

She walked through the large orphanage, smiling and nodding to all the nuns and staff she encountered along the way.

Finally, Luo Lin spotted her target.

The blonde girl was standing in the open space behind the orphanage, holding two tree branches and gesturing slowly. Occasionally, she furrowed her brows in concentration.

Bianka Ataegina.

Luo Lin slowed her pace, standing at a distance, watching this good child who had helped her a lot in the system space and would grow up to be an excellent Valkyrie.

Although Little Bianka hadn't received any training yet...

"Ha!"

At that moment, Little Bianka used the tree branches like pistols and performed a clean set of Kaslana Gun Fu techniques. Luo Lin watched closely and noticed that there were a few moves that weren't part of the original Kaslana Gun Fu, but rather improvised techniques she had developed to combat the Titans in the Infinity Abyss.

Luo Lin's eyes widened in astonishment, her jaw almost dropping to the ground.

What happened to not remembering anything about assisting in battles? System, speak up!
