Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 272 How could you use my methods against him!

"Firefly, let me go! Let me go, we can still be friends!"

After passing through the etheric vortex constructed by the silver wolf, Firefly, with unimaginable speed, somehow obtained a rope of unknown material and bound him up like a dumpling.

Nobody likes being tied up like a dumpling (probably). With his personal freedom restricted, Qiong was placed on a large bed by Sam (why is there such a big Pam doll in the corner of the bed? Is it from March 7th?). He tried his best to break free, but no matter how hard he tried, the ropes showed no sign of breaking.

Qiong was extremely indignant about Liu Ying's kidnapping: What did they take him for? A respectable young man who could be forcibly taken by the bullying gang, Star Core Hunters?

Qiong really wanted to ask Liuying, "Are you a firefly or a hooligan?" But then she thought about how Liuying might actually turn into a hooligan...

He had no choice but to leave the topic at that for the time being—he couldn't provoke the kidnappers, who knew what they might do in a fit of madness… turn him into a roasted star core?

But Qiong didn't realize that, in the eyes of Liuying, whom he temporarily regarded as a hooligan, Qiong was just a teenager who had been bewitched by a blonde woman from Earth, and who was obsessed, lost his memory, and went astray.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Liu Ying responded verbally, but her hands kept moving, tightening the rope of some unknown material in her hand even more.

Qiong struggled more and more violently, and the fierce resistance made his face turn red.

"Hey, hey, hey, you broke your promise! You cheated me!"

"Wait a minute... I've let go."

Sam raised his hands and took a few steps back.

Qiong: ...

Are you playing word games with him?

Qiong's eyes widened in anger, and he was just short of roaring.

Just as he was about to say something, Sam was engulfed in flames. The mech vanished, replaced by a smiling firefly dressed in a nurse's uniform and a white cap with a red cross.

"Fireflies?"

At first glance, Liu Ying's outfit seems particularly short, with only a pair of white stockings underneath—it certainly doesn't look like a proper medical worker's uniform!

You can't look! He's not some perverted horny guy who likes to look at women's thighs!

"What's wrong, Qiong? Aren't you afraid to look?"

Liu Ying took in Qiong's panicked glances and then closed her eyes, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up.

Well, Silver Wolf is still somewhat useful. By analyzing Sora's behavioral logic and his sometimes unconscious browsing and chat history on Earth, we've figured out what Sora has been interested in lately...

Although Silver Wolf stated that 60% of the data came from that person named Kiana Kaslana, and that the Prometheus analysis algorithm was recommended for reference only, isn't it still quite useful?

"No! I'm a righteous gentleman! Of all evils, lust is the worst. Fiery... Fiery emptiness? No, that's not right! Emptiness is form, form is emptiness, emptiness is yellow hair..."

Even though Qiong tried his best to recite the "Heart-Cleansing Mantra" he had just come up with, people cannot resist their instinct to yearn for beautiful things. The sound of firefly's little leather shoes hitting the ground grew louder and louder, and even with his eyes closed, Qiong knew that firefly was getting closer and closer.

Liu Ying walked step by step to Qiong's bedside, looking down at Qiong, whose face was flushed.

"A virtuous gentleman? Why don't you virtuous gentlemen open your eyes and look at me?"

"Hmph hmph hmph~"

"Meow meow~"

"Hey? What are you doing!"

As the footsteps drew closer, Qiong's heart began to beat faster involuntarily.

"Firefly, don't go too far!"

Qiong feigned composure, completely unaware that this level of composure, combined with an eye patch, would appear rather... well, let's just say it's not convincing.

But that didn't matter anymore, because after waiting for a while, the fireflies still didn't "launch an attack".

what's the situation?

Qiong squinted and secretly glanced in the direction of Liu Ying.

Huh? A piggy bank and a trashy cat treat are blocking the way for the firefly?

Wait, why are there piggy banks and garbage cakes here?

"I've taken care of the rope for you, now hurry up and go get that baseball bat! You don't want to be raped, do you?"

"What the hell?"

Before Qiong could realize what was happening, the rope, made of some unknown material, suddenly turned to ashes.

Qiong quickly moved his numb hands and feet, and only now did he have time to look around his "cage": was this a large room with a big bed, an extra-large screen computer, a collection shelf, and a wardrobe and refrigerator in the distance? Qiong guessed for no reason that the door behind Liuying was the bathroom.

You ask why the bathroom? Don't ask, it's just a gut feeling. Besides, this layout feels so familiar…

"Qiong, why are you... all of you, get out of the way!"

How could a piggy bank and a garbage cake possibly stop the tall and strong firefly? The moment Qiong sat up, firefly leaped over the two cute creatures and the table she had just kept her distance from to give Qiong a sense of security.

"Stop daydreaming, go get the baseball bat! Hurry up!"

"Ah? Oh!"

Urged on by the unnamed "god," Qiong snapped out of her daze, quickly got up to avoid the fireflies, and then searched the room for a baseball bat. But after searching everywhere, she couldn't find a trace of it.

"You idiot, you floating one, can't you even look up?!"

"Qiong, how did you untie the silver wolf's rope?"

Nurse Liu Ying looked at the flustered Qiong with a complicated expression.

And then there's that wretched Silver Wolf! What a shoddy construction project! When he gave it to you, didn't he confidently claim it was a special rope that was outwardly soft but inwardly strong and indestructible, so that even if the Grammer cavalry were bound, they could only burn it or untie it from the outside?

"Because I'm awesome! What are these?"

Although she didn't know why the baseball bat was there, Qiong still took the bat that should have been hers without hesitation, and the items on the display shelf also came into view.

"Is this a model of the Trailblazer? A model of the King's Bucket? A model of the Clockwork Boy..."

Just then, the door to the room was suddenly opened, and a large metal-headed robot rushed in, carrying a glass in its hand.

"Oh, dear Nameless Guest Qiong, welcome home. We've been waiting for your return. Would you like a drink? Or something chilly—"

No, why is this robot using Otto's voice?

"No need, shut up, thank you!"

Suddenly, a silver wolf darted out from behind Shut Up. She smashed a wine glass against the machine head and pulled Shut Up out.

"Silver Wolf!"

"Sorry, the Silver Wolf you requested is not in the service area. Please contact us again after the car departs."

"How much longer?"

"Hurry, hurry, I've called them back! Give me two more minutes, prepare for the jump!"

Silver Wolf spread his hands to show he couldn't help, and thoughtfully closed the door that Shut Up had smashed open before Qiong arrived.

Silver Wolf and Firefly weren't worried that Qiong would run away. Although there were indeed pioneer beacons on Earth (including St. Freya), Qiong couldn't use them: not to mention that he's now mentally damaged and has forgotten how to use anchor points, all anchor points are currently inactive at Walter's request—in short, Qiong can't get off the train!

"Sora, it's just us left again..."

Seeing the bewildered Qiong, Liu Ying decided to change tactics.

……

A moment later, Qiong finally realized what was happening. As he was pulled away and shut up, the bubble-filled ethereal bubbles and the trash cake were forcibly placed on the sofa by the annoyed firefly (why is there a firework doll and a small box next to the sofa?). Now, there was only a small dining table between him and the firefly.

"Honestly, why did you run away? I just wanted to stimulate your memory. Don't you even remember this place? The train conductor said you were the one who set up this room."

"Mine? This is my room?"

A look of disappointment crossed Liu Ying's face, but it quickly turned into a smile.

"Yes, your room. It really is severe amnesia. Come here quickly, let Dr. Firefly 'treat' you!"

"Are you sure you're Dr. Firefly and not a rogue nurse?"

Feeling immense pressure, Qiong could only lean against the wardrobe with his baseball bat in hand, facing the firefly whose eyes were practically filled with love—he didn't want to swing the bat unless absolutely necessary.

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

"This woman is almost obsessed."

Kiana, in her mochi form (a wisp of her spirit) hiding in the wardrobe, condemns the actions of the firefly—even though she herself did even worse in her dream.

Using her Stigmata to locate and sense, Kiana immediately arrived at Sora's room on the Starry Sky Train and had just given Sora three small acts of assistance. Now she was observing, which meant secretly protecting her and seeing just how loyal Sora was to Mei.

Of course, Kiana had already planned it out: if Sora couldn't control herself and chose to surrender, she, hiding in the closet, would immediately burst out in the form of mochi and desperately exile Hotaru to the future, so she could punish this weak-willed, spineless girl on Mei's behalf; if Sora and Hotaru conspired to betray Mei and everyone else, she would immediately burst out from the closet, exile Hotaru to the future, erase Sora's memory, and then use that time to teach this womanizer a lesson on Mei's behalf; if they both remained restrained…

She'll wait a while before bursting out from the closet, then take everyone in the car, including Helia and Coralie, to the future, so they'll have company on the journey. After that, she might consider giving Sora a lesson in a dream—don't ask why, because this woman, Liuying, who's gone mad, can't be allowed to live!

The starry-eyed rice cake, peering through the gaps in the wardrobe and utilizing its own senses, perceived everything outside. Meanwhile, unable to resist the fireflies, Qiong stumbled and nearly fell when embraced by one?

Fortunately, there was a wardrobe behind her, which prevented Qiong from falling to the ground in a sorry state.

"Liu, Liuying, watch yourself, I have a girlfriend."

Firefly wasn't annoyed by the rejection of her hug. Instead of forcing it, she walked to the refrigerator and took out a cake.

"I really want to heal you~ Want some cake?"

"That's... an oak-smoked Swiss roll?"

"You still remember!"

Liu Ying's expression became excited again, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Remember……"

I remember it tasting as bad as oak, and it also gave +45% Special Attack when breaking through defenses...

"You told me it breaks through special attack by 45%."

"what?!"

Instead of hugging her like before, Liu Ying simply smiled gently and stuffed a small piece of cake into her mouth, chewing it with difficulty.

"The day we met again—though it's hardly even our first meeting now, is it? You wouldn't let me pay for anything, insisting on paying the whole bill yourself and eating oak cake rolls with me... How silly of you, you clearly didn't like it! Did you have to make a face and eat with me like that?"

Qiong & Kiana: ? ? ?

"On that rooftop, you insisted on playing Miss Robin's song on your phone before chatting with me. Just how much do you like her songs? What's the lyric again? 'Birds are born—'"

Qiong was stunned, and Kiana was stunned too.

"You know, Miss Robin's brother was defeated by you, and Mr. Sunday is on the train too—do you remember any of that? Come on, come back with us. Maybe if you listen to her powerful songs, you'll remember everything? After all, they're choreographed! I also learned a little bit about stimulating memories from Mr. Sunday..."

"He knows this on Sunday?"

At this point, Firefly swallowed the entire cake roll, took two steps back, and gestured for Qiong to get into bed.

"Don't worry, the method is very safe. Don't you trust me? Come on, I just want to stimulate your pressure points. Do you think I'm the kind of bad woman who lies to you?"

"I don't think so..."

"not good!"

Unlike Qiong's brain, which was in a state of chaos, Kiana's "catch-the-cheat radar" started working at full speed.

Qiong, that gullible fool, hasn't been swayed by blatant temptations yet, but what's next?

Playing the emotional card has already left Qiong confused. This tactic, seemingly aimed at restoring her memories but actually a ploy to lower her guard and cultivate an emotional connection…

After that, all Firefly needs to do is come a few more times, and then turn off the lights and act a little tougher at night, and she can quietly watch as the dim-witted Gray Hair falls into their gentle trap...

After being massaged at acupoints, Qiong would definitely feel comfortable and want to sleep. If she saw Liuying dressed as a nurse while half asleep, and Liuying used a little trick... Qiong would definitely only offer a symbolic resistance like she did in her dream, but this kind of resistance would only embolden the attacker!

I used this method first! How could you use my method against him!

Kiana was once again outraged by Firefly's actions.

If she acted that way in a dream, it would be one thing, but if it happened in reality, things would get out of control!

The reason for this is that, although Qiong is clumsy, reckless, and sometimes cowardly, he also has his own moral bottom line when he's in a certain situation, and he will resolutely take responsibility, even if it means...

Even if Sora doesn't want to make a painful choice and take responsibility, Ryougi only needs to say "Sora, you don't want Mei-neechan to know, right?" after Sora makes a mistake, and she can use this to coerce Sora into doing many things... After that, Sora, who initially fought with all her might, will gradually become numb and adapt, and finally completely succumb and be taken to an alien planet to cut off the solar system's connection...

It's not impossible! Kiana firmly believed that there was nothing those black-hearted aliens couldn't do.

"Watch out, she's deceiving you! This goddess has seen through her; this woman is just after your body! You have a girlfriend, so don't let yourself be fooled by a woman who suddenly appears out of nowhere!"

The explosive sound in his head made Qiong's hand holding the baseball bat tremble.

"Qiong, what's wrong? Is your head hurting? This might be a sign of memory recovery, come quick—"

"Wait, let me take a moment."

Although the reason is unknown, Qiong doesn't trust anyone now—the only things he can trust are his own mind and the baseball bat in his hand.
