Honkai Impact: You still owe me a dance

"Dance with me, right here."

Under the moonlight, the young girl stretched out her hand towards Bai Yan. Her expression had no emotion, but it could express the soft atmosphere around her and convey a faint smile.

When the girl danced with Bai Yan, the relationship between her and her sister also reached Bai Yan's ears.

"After all, I'm just a doll created by my grandfather for my sister's resurrection, but...does dolls also have this kind of emotion? Really? Tell me, I don't understand it at all."

The two stopped dancing almost at the same time, and the white-haired vampire girl had an expression on her face that seemed to be asking for help.

"When you are entangled, troubled, and struggling for yourself, then you are already a person living in this world with dignity. Since I have fulfilled your wish, can you also fulfill mine? Where’s your wish? Lovely vampire lady.”

Bai Yan bent down slightly, took the girl's right hand with his right hand, and gently kissed the other person's finger cup.

"Wish? Bai? Do you also have a wish? If I can make it happen, then I will help you realize it."

After struggling for a moment, Theresa agreed to Bai Yan's request.

"Then let's meet here tomorrow night. By then, you will know my wish."

After the two made an agreement, they separated.

After returning to his residence, Bai Yan fell into a deep sleep due to subconscious sleepiness. When he woke up, it was already twelve o'clock the next night.

"It's obviously just like a game, but it's really annoying to force time skipping like this."

Bai Yan looked at the message Jizi sent him. Now Jizi and the big shots of Tianming are chasing the 'White Ghost'.

The meaning on the surface is already very clear. Now Theresa is in danger.

When Bai Yan returned to the roof of the building where they danced and parted yesterday as quickly as possible, another girl with white hair was pointing her gun at Theresa.

Himeko, who was covered in disgrace, and another girl she had never met before, and Theresa, who was kneeling on the ground and dying.

"Sorry, this lovely girl still owes me a wish."

The next second, Theresa, who was kneeling on the ground dying, was already curled up in Bai Yan's arms like a kitten.

Ji Zi and the other girl both looked at Bai Yan in surprise.

"What... why did you find this place?!"

"because..."

Before Bai Yan could say anything, the stinging pain on his neck showed that the sharp fangs had pierced the skin on his neck.

"sorry."

The moment Theresa's voice disappeared, the remaining emotion in her bloody pupils was gradually fading away.

"Stop! Teresa!"

Another girl's voice suddenly sounded, and Theresa, who was originally in Bai Yan's arms, was about to pounce on the other girl's position.

"It's okay, I'm here, relax, it's okay."

But Bai Yan, whose neck was bitten by Theresa, did not let go of Theresa's hand, but gently patted her back to comfort her.

Although as Theresa sucked in more blood, Bai Yan's face also became pale.

"Hey, are you okay?"

In response to Ji Zi's question, Bai Yan just waved his hand. He was speechless now.

After the other girl who didn't know what she said to Ji Zi, Ji Zi left here. Although she was a little worried about Bai Yan's condition, Ji Zi's current body couldn't hold on for the time being.

It wasn't until Theresa slowly let go and fell asleep in Bai Yan's arms that the two of them felt relieved.

Only the other girl was left looking at Bai Yan and Theresa.

"You...are you really okay? Who are you?"

Another girl looked at the scabbed wound on Bai Yan's neck, which made her begin to doubt Bai Yan's identity.

"Won't you introduce yourself first?"

"Karen, Theresa's sister. The goal this time is just to bring Theresa back, so can you hand her over to me?"

Kallen tried to reach out to Theresa in Bai Yan's arms, but Bai Yan's eyes made it clear.

"Of course... no! She still owes me a wish. How can I let her go until it comes true?"

Bai Yan stood up with Theresa in his arms. Seeing that it was already dark, he took two steps back and jumped off the roof.

"What do you want to do!"

When Kallen rushed over the edge of the roof and looked down, Bai Yan had already disappeared with Theresa.

Although Karen didn't know where Bai Yan took Theresa, she had an intuition that this might be the best outcome for both her and Theresa.

An hour or two passed in a blink of an eye.

These two hours also allowed Bai Yan to recover from the weakness caused by Theresa's blood-sucking.

Bai Yan gently stroked the two scarred wounds on his neck. Thinking back carefully, Teresa bit her quite hard.

Looking at Theresa sleeping soundly in his bed, this was not the first time that he had been sucked by a vampire, but the last time was already tens of thousands of years ago.

"But compared to that ruthless man, you were gentle."

When Theresa woke up, the rich smell of food aroused the hunger bug in her stomach.

Looking at Bai Yan sitting not far away eating, Theresa flinched for a moment, and also didn't know what to do.

"When you wake up, come over and eat. You must be hungry too."

Regarding Theresa's unwillingness to come over, Bai Yan did not force her. After putting the remaining dishes into her bowl, he threw the oil-stained plate directly into the trash can.

"You don't have to feel guilty. Am I not in front of you now? Besides, you are not the first vampire to suck my blood?"

"Are there other vampires in the world?"

Listening to Bai Yan's words, Theresa became a little curious about the possibility that there might be other vampires in this world.

"That guy and I are a good partner. As a vampire, she needs to have enough blood to be able to fight, and I have strong blood-forming ability. As long as she controls the amount of blood she absorbs, there will be no problem for us."

"Can you tell me about her?"

After being aroused by Bai Yan, Theresa also stiffly started to change the topic.

"Before she became a vampire, she was a soldier. Due to some crisis, in order to survive, she had to eat the body of a Honkai beast named Xiranos. In the end, even though she survived , but in her own eyes, she is already dead and has turned into a monster who kills innocent people indiscriminately."

"But the power she displayed was invincible at the time. No enemy could survive her sharp claws. Until one time, I was the only living person in my village, and she defeated the enemy with all her strength. , lost control like you and started sucking my blood. That’s how she and I met.”

"As for later, I became friends with her until she was killed by human fear."

"Before? After she died, didn't you consider her a friend?"

"Yes and no. She betrayed me and took advantage of my trust to lock me up, but she could survive as long as she said a word to me."

Bai Yan still remembers things that happened tens of thousands of years ago quite clearly because of hyperamnesia.

She turned into ashes in front of her, leaving only a cross necklace given to her by Bai Yan to store blood.

Looking at this cross necklace that could store blood, Theresa was in a trance for a moment.

In her eyes, all the images that the previous owner of this necklace had experienced appeared in her mind.

"I have filled this necklace with blood. Based on your current usage, it should be able to last for a year without going on a rampage if you don't fight."

Theresa subconsciously took the necklace, and the moment she touched it, she already knew how to use it.

"Why? Why do you want to help me like this?"

All of this was almost something Theresa wanted to do subconsciously, but when she reacted, she discovered why the other party cared so much and took care of her.

"Why? Why do you want to help me like this?"

All of this was almost something Theresa wanted to do subconsciously, but when she reacted, she discovered why the other party cared so much and took care of her.

"Why I helped you, I don't know, but I know that if I don't help you, I may regret it for the rest of my life."

Bai Yan shrugged, sat back on the chair and stared at Theresa who was looking at the cross necklace in a daze.

"By the way, Theresa, do you still owe me a wish? Come with me tomorrow morning."

"Morning? But, I'm a vampire?"

Theresa had some doubts. As a vampire, although she could come out in the morning, her body was too weak at that time.

"Don't worry, the cross I just gave you can offset it for a while, so it doesn't matter. Get some rest and see you tomorrow morning."

After saying hello to Bai Yan, he went to the next room to rest.

This house has three bedrooms and one living room. Although the identity information was basically hacked by Bai Yan himself, it is enough to live in.

After returning to the room, Bai Yan did not rest. Instead, he lay on the chair and stared at the three photos posted on the wall, which were of Ji Zi, Kallen and Theresa.

About an hour later, after Theresa fell asleep, Bai Yan also received a text message from Jizi.

On the roof of the previous Homu Restaurant, Bai Yan was lying on the railing and watching Ji Zi who was leaning on the railing and drinking beer.

The red-haired girl opened another can of beer and drank it down.

Looking at a whole box of beer and a pile of empty cans next to him, Bai Yan shook his head helplessly.

"Pfft-summer! Night breeze! Beer! Bliss in life, happiness in life~"

"You're obviously still a girl, why do you act like an uncle?"

Regarding this red-haired girl who behaved the same as her uncle, Bai Yan stood leaning on the railing and looked at her.

"What's wrong with uncle? Don't underestimate him. Serious uncles are very powerful... just like that person."

"You're drunk. You looked injured all over your body before. Now you go out to drink. It's not good for your body to recover."

"No, except for my drinking ability, I won't lose to anyone~"

Jizi stood up slowly while holding on to the railing, but her frivolous steps showed the fact that she was drunk.

"Yes, yes, drunk people will say that."

Bai Yan walked to Ji Zi's side and gently pressed her temples. The comfortable feeling made her wake up a little.

"Oh...you are so considerate, I won't have any benefits for you -"

When Ji Zi shook off Bai Yan, she leaned on the railing and took a few more sips of beer.

"If you are looking forward to something, you'd better invite me to a more upscale place for a few drinks first~"

"What, you still want to drink? Even if I can afford it, you can't drink now."

Bai Yan also picked up a can and drank with Ji Zi.

"You are only talking about my body, what about your body? You can still survive after being sucked by blood. Are you really a human?"

Bai Yan did not answer Ji Zi's question, but just smiled lightly.

"Maybe? I'm really not human."

Compared to Bai Yan, this is more of a self-deprecation.

The two suddenly fell silent. Ji Zi didn't want to ask, and Bai Yan didn't know what to say.

In order not to be embarrassed, Bai Yan still looked for a topic.

"It might as well be you. Although you, as a member of Destiny, have nothing to do with staying with Kallen, I remember that you are not from Caltech? Why are you in Destiny now?"

"Huh? Do you actually know about this? It's not an unmentionable topic. My father used to be a scientist of destiny. Under his influence, I have always regarded becoming a physicist as my goal. When I was fifteen, I got into Caltech.”

"At fifteen, are you still a genius?"

The other person's experience seemed to be no different in Bai Yan's memory.

"After all, I don't seem to be the type who is very good at studying. At Caltech, I met a person who had the most profound influence on me besides my father. I always feel that you are similar to that person, but you look weak. But my heart is extremely strong.”

"Is the body weak but the heart strong? I haven't heard anyone say this about me for a long time."

Bai Yan shrugged and drank the beer in his hand.

"I'm really stupid. I gave up my studies at Caltech in order to become this half-baked Valkyrie. I even accepted this kind of experiment at the expense of my life. Father, teacher, why are you..."

Jizi's voice gradually became lower as she spoke.

"Wuxianta Ryusuke, your father, was a man I admired very much. A man who would try his best for his dream, but in the end he still chose that path. As for Walter, that's not the case. He is also a stubborn guy, but their paths are completely different."

"You...know my father and teacher?"

When mentioning Wuliang Talongsuke and Walter, Himeko stood up with a little excitement.

"Himeko, let me ask you a question. Which one would you choose between your family, your companions, or your own dreams?"

"Of course it's my family and companions! If I am trying to realize my dream and there is no one around me in the end, the loneliness may make me feel that everything is not worth it."

Jizi's voice became softer and softer, and in the end she was even mumbling to herself.

After a while, when Ji Zi didn't respond, Bai Yan called her a few words in a low voice, but the reply he got was just steady breathing.

"Did you fall asleep like this?"

Seeing Ji Zi sleeping soundly even while leaning on the railing, Bai Yan carried her on his back and took her to her own home.

Listening to the muttering in the corner of her mouth, Bai Yan only half-responsed and half-answered her own words.

However, her words always felt like she was blaming the world.

By the time they were finally sent to Jizi's residence, Jizi had slowly fallen asleep.

"You've been following us for so long, it's time to come out."

After covering Ji Zi with a quilt, Bai Yan just walked out of the door and looked at the shadow in the corner.

Kallen, who had been separated from Bai Yan and Theresa before, had the gun in her hand pointed at Bai Yan's head. There was no doubt that as long as Bai Yan moved, the other party would pull the trigger.

"I originally thought you would come later, but I didn't expect you to come so soon, didn't you? Miss Karen?"

Bai Yan didn't pay attention to this threat to his life. He just leaned against the door and read the advertisement of Homu Homu Paradise with a calm expression.

"It seems that you know very well that I will come to you."

"Of course, no one in this world knows the power of Vishnu and the Key of Corrosion better than me."

Bai Yan touched the spot where Theresa had bitten him before, and now there was only a faint white mark left on that spot.
