"This is... my future colleague you mentioned before?"

Jizi looked at the petite black-haired girl covered in injuries next to Theresa with curiosity and stretched out her hand.

"Hello, I'm Himeko Muryota. Nice to meet you. As for your injuries... do you need to go back to Hyperion? There's a medical cabin there that you can use."

"Hello, Sister Ji Zi." Xia Ling wiped her bloody hands, shook hands with Ji Zi, and said something that made Ji Zi worried in her calm and gentle tone: "No need, it's just this level of injury, I'm used to it."

"Oh, so that's it..." Xia Ling's words left Ji Zigan silent. She kept looking at Theresa next to her, her eyes seemed to be asking Theresa where she picked up such a strange girl.

"Well... I'll tell you more about Xia Ling later. Let's go back to Hyperion first. Most of Xia Ling's injuries are superficial. We can repair them in the medical cabin and have the ship's doctor bandage them."

Theresa's expression was indescribable. She sighed and said.

"Xia Ling, are you okay?"

"I have no objection." Xia Ling said that she would follow the organization's arrangements.

"Then come quickly. Don't worry, my driving skills are very good. I guarantee that I can get the injured to you safely within ten minutes."

Ji Zi's style of action was as vigorous and decisive as ever, and she took the two of them directly onto the transport plane.

As the black transport plane slowly rose, Xia Ling finally got a glimpse of the entire Changkong City, as well as the giant floating battleship floating in the clouds in the distance.

This is also where her dream began - Hyperion.

Chapter 16 Where the Dream Begins

As the transport plane slowly docked on the deck of the Hyperion, Xia Ling finally boarded the ship that had accompanied her for several years.

After the transport plane came to a steady stop, Xia Ling followed Ji Zi's footsteps, jumped off the transport plane, and walked towards the bridge.

"Let's go across the deck. There's an elevator up there. Going up is Hyperion's bridge."

Ji Zi led the way and turned back to introduce Xia Ling.

"I still need to give you a simple treatment today, so I won't show you around yet. You can come up here later and then take your time to explore."

As she spoke, Ji Zi led Theresa and Xia Ling into an elevator that looked very familiar, the one that Xia Ling used to see on her phone every day.

As the elevator slowly ascended, Xia Ling finally heard the greeting she often heard at four in the morning:

"Captain on the bridge"

"We're here. This is the bridge. But, you'll probably come here more often in the future."

"I'll arrange a navigation mission for them first, and then take you to the medical cabin. When your injuries are almost healed, we'll probably be able to reach Saint Freya by then."

As she spoke, Ji Zi called a crew member below and whispered a few words to her. Then Xia Ling felt a slight shake coming from the hull.

"Haha, don't be afraid. Hyperion's balance system is very complete. As long as the captain doesn't do anything bad, even a severe motion sickness patient won't feel much shaking."

As soon as Ji Zi said this, there was a burst of boos from the operating table below the bridge.

"Ah, yes, yes, as long as the captain doesn't do anything bad, Jizi, how many times have you been drunk and racing in Changkong City?"

Ji Zi's adjutant was the first to sabotage Ji Zi.

"That's right, and I usually get drunk more often than I get sober at night."

Theresa stabbed him again without mercy.

"Hey, there are new people here, please give me some face."

Ji Zi coughed lightly, her face slightly red, and explained to Xia Ling: "Drinking is just a little hobby of mine. Don't worry, I never delay my work."

"Alright, alright. Today I'm just showing you the way. Don't learn bad things from these old veterans. And you, stop messing with me. Go and prepare the medical cabin. Can't you see that Xia Ling's injuries haven't been treated yet?"

Having said that, Ji Zi pulled Xia Ling up and hurriedly fled the scene.

......

Hyperion's medical cabin is located on the middle level of the ship to ensure that even if the hull is attacked, the wounded will not suffer secondary injuries.

"Okay, here it is."

Ji Zi walked forward and turned on the screen in front of the medical cabin, tapped it a few times, and then nodded: "Well, the parameters are fine, Xia Ling, take off your clothes and lie down."

"Yi, took off your clothes?" Xia Ling's face turned slightly red, and she pinched the corner of her clothes shyly.

At this time, she was still wearing the system's reserve warlock operator uniform, but it had become tattered in the battle, with bloodstains and damage everywhere.

"Oh, you're shy." Ji Zi couldn't help but laugh.

Along the way, she was basically certain that this girl was not only petite in stature, but her mental age was probably not much older either.

It's just that Xia Ling looked like someone with a story to tell, and her expression had hardly changed along the way. Now she finally showed some behavior that was consistent with her age, which made Ji Zi and Theresa feel a little bit of novelty for a moment.

"No, I'm not shy." Xia Ling saw this and felt that if she didn't do as she was told, she might be teased even more.

She raised her bare hands and slowly unbuttoned her clothes. As her clothes were peeled off piece by piece, Xia Ling's fair and delicate body was gradually exposed in front of the two men.

Facing the burning gazes of the two, Xia Ling covered her chest somewhat uncomfortably.

"Tsk, I thought Xia Ling was also the petite and slender type, but I didn't expect her to be this hidden type..." Theresa's voice revealed a little disappointment.

"Well... there are no serious injuries, and the wounds are not deep. If they are treated properly, they should not leave scars or marks." Ji Zi looked him up and down and nodded.

"Okay, lie down. Don't worry if you are covered by the liquid. Just breathe normally. The repair liquid contains a certain amount of sedatives. Don't resist if you feel sleepy. That's normal."

After giving the instructions, Ji Zi pressed a few buttons, the medical cabin slowly closed, and then the liquid began to slowly rise.

Seeing that the girl had fallen asleep in the medical cabin, Jizi looked at Theresa beside her.

Theresa shook her head slightly and signaled with her eyes that Ji Zi should go out and talk.

"Now can we talk about it, what's the situation with the child?"

When she arrived at the door, Ji Zi couldn't wait to ask Theresa.

"It's a bit complicated. This little girl fell in front of me when I was fighting Yuno..."

Theresa sighed and told the story of what had happened to her in the past two days.

However, at this time, Xia Ling did not fall asleep as they expected, but instead entered the system space and watched the live broadcast with the system.

"Look, I said Theresa would think I was from another world, right? Oh my god, how come she made up a story about my life that's even more tragic than I thought."

[Boss Xia Ling is fun to play with.]

"How can you say that to me? I clearly didn't tell any lies." Xia Ling looked at the system with a smile: "I just didn't tell the whole truth. You see, this is the charm of language."

"Yes, it is true that Theresa and the others misunderstood me, but I can definitely become the Xia Ling in their imaginations, right?"

[Host, please stop talking. The Otto vibe is about to overflow. If you continue, I will sweat profusely. Just because you want to become Otto doesn't mean I don't want to become Void Manzang. If I am thrown into the Imaginary Number Tree, I will have to roll back by myself.]

At this time, outside the door, Theresa had basically told Ji Zi what had happened.

"In other words, this child is a survivor of a world bubble that is presumably destroyed. He was able to travel through the quantum ocean because he was carrying something similar to the Second God Key, and then he drifted to our world somehow."

"Yes, by the way, it may be much stronger than the Second God Key."

"Then there might be an isomorph similar to you in her world, who might have passed away due to some circumstances, so her first reaction after seeing you was to help you defeat Yuno."

"Also, its strength is unknown. Although it is very weak now, it does not mean that it will still be very weak in the future."

"Well, that's probably it."

"Uh... Theresa, don't you think this seems a little too coincidental?"

Chapter 17: Arriving at the highest institution of law-abiding people - Saint Freya

"I know."

To Jizi's surprise, Theresa also thought of this.

"Jizi, I may not be very smart, but after following Grandpa for so long, my knowledge and experience are enough to make up for it."

"Then you still..."

"Just because of suspicion, am I going to let this homeless child wander around Changkong City?" Theresa raised her head and looked into Ji Zi's eyes.

"Indeed, she was obviously hiding something in her words, but everyone has their own unspeakable secrets, just like I never talked about my background, and never asked about Bronya and Mei's past."

"I could feel that the loneliness she expressed when she mentioned that she had no home was not fake, and the surprise, joy and sadness she expressed when she saw me for the first time were also genuine. That was enough."

"Just as the legal principle of presumption of innocence has always been advocated, we cannot ignore the suffering of others just because we doubt the past."

"Heh..." Ji Zi chuckled, "Not bad, Theresa. I didn't realize you had this awareness before."

"It seems that you have served as the dean for a good reason."

"Hey, what image did I have in your eyes before?"

Ignoring Theresa's dissatisfaction, Ji Zi leaned against the wall and looked at the ceiling of the ship: "I understand what you mean. When I get to the academy later, I will contact my old friends and Shenzhou to check Xia Ling's identity and household registration."

"If she really came from the Quantum Ocean, then there should be no trace of this person in this world."

"Of course, if I really can't find it, I will ask Shenzhou to help forge an identity for me, as compensation for doubting her."

"Yeah, that's what I thought too. There's also this consideration in letting her live with us."

"If she really approached me for some purpose, she would definitely take action."

"If not, then I'd also be happy to meet such a friend."

"Ah, come to think of it, Xiao Xia Ling seemed to have said that she had strong survival skills in the wild." Theresa wanted to pat Ji Zi's shoulder, but because of the height difference between her and Ji Zi, she couldn't reach her, so she patted Ji Zi's butt in anger: "Then judging from this, her cooking skills should be pretty good."

"You, a drunk guy, are in for a treat again."

"Major Himeko, here I come."

While the two were talking, a young girl in a white medical worker's uniform came to Ji Zi, carrying a set of St. Freya Academy uniform and a medical kit.

"Her repair will be completed soon, but there will probably be some larger wounds that have not healed. Go bandage her and then have her change into new clothes."

"Okay, Major Himeko."

The ship's doctor nodded and went into the infirmary.

......

After a while, Xia Ling came out with a blushing face wearing a brand new Saint Freya student uniform.

"Hey, isn't this pretty?" Ji Zi leaned against the wall and smiled, "How about it? Our St. Freya Academy uniform is pretty good, isn't it?"

"No matter from the perspective of comfort, materials, or breathability, it's impeccable." Xia Ling gave a thumbs up: "Although I haven't worn other school uniforms much, I think Saint Freya's uniform should be pretty good."

[Host, you really never forget to improve your character. ]

Ji Zi was a little silent after Xia Ling's words, but she quickly adjusted herself and changed the subject: "Hyperion is almost at its destination. Let's go to the deck and show you the panoramic view of Saint Freya."

Taking the familiar elevator again, Xia Ling returned to the deck she had stepped onto just a few minutes ago.

"Look, that huge gun port below is Hyperion's railgun system. There are six of them on the ship, used to fight against large Honkai beasts."

"What if there is a Honkai beast that can locate itself like a small drone?" Xia Ling showed the curiosity of someone who only has a limited understanding of this world.

"It depends on the situation. Generally, we can directly use the close-in weapon system to fight back. There are ten such systems distributed around the ship."

"And if the enemy is more intelligent or powerful, we can directly choose to deploy Valkyries into battle."

As she spoke, Ji Zi brought Xia Ling and Theresa to the edge of the deck.

"There are ten Valkyrie drop ports at the bottom of the ship, which can drop Valkyrie directly onto the ground or onto a drone."

[Actually, it is the interface where the host is in the online battle of Honkai Impact 3rd.]

"Ah, I see." Xia Ling suddenly realized: "Then will I have the opportunity to conduct airborne operations from the drop port in the future?"

"As long as your physical fitness can withstand it, of course you can." Ji Zi smiled and pointed to a small island in the distance.

"Look, Saint Freya, we're here."

The view of St. Freya from a high place was completely different from the flat view in the game. Compared with the air walls everywhere in the game, Xia Ling realized the wealth of St. Freya Academy at this time.

Reliefs, Western-style churches, teaching buildings, extremely spacious playgrounds and training grounds...the scenes before her eyes reminded Xia Ling that she had truly come to this world and participated in the life of the character she had longed for.

"Okay, stop being in a daze. If you like St. Freya's College so much, I'll let Theresa take you on a tour later."

Ji Zi patted Xia Ling on the shoulder, and Xia Ling then noticed that the Hyperion was gradually approaching the port.

"Huh? Jizi isn't going back to the academy?"

"I'm not as free as Theresa." Jizi waved the ID card in her hand: "It's working hours now, and only our mascot, the dean, can accompany you on the sightseeing."
