I'm in Honkai Impact's Infinite Abyss!

After receiving guidance from Aponia, Luo Lin began to try to "refine" emotions.

However, in the beginning, the Valkyrie couldn't grasp the essence of this step, so she turned to the nun for advice again.

Unexpectedly, Aponia tilted her head and said, "This is very simple, just play around with it, right?"

"Huh?"

Luo Lin hadn't expected to encounter trouble in this area. She looked at the perplexed nun and couldn't help but touch her forehead helplessly.

"Boss, I'm not as naturally sensitive to the spiritual as you are, and I've only recently gained this ability," she explained.

Aponia had shown extraordinary mental talent even before becoming a MANTIS. When she worked at the sanatorium, she could easily persuade others, demonstrating remarkable abilities.

For her, sensing and separating emotions was as simple as breathing, almost instinctual.

This also meant that Aponia didn't know how to teach Luo Lin this "simple" task—after all, normal people could breathe; not breathing would lead to death. Have you ever thought about teaching someone who just learned to breathe how to do it?

"Let me try!"

When Luo Lin was struggling and scratching her head, Senti offered help, "Since she can't explain it, why don't I directly connect your senses and then replicate it one-to-one?"

The Valkyrie was stunned, "Can this work?"

"It's not a bad idea," Aponia opened her arms, "Come, Hua..."

Senti almost jumped up, "Have you lived for fifty thousand years and gone senile?! I've told you several times I'm not the old relic! If you keep this up, I'll get angry!"

"... This Herrscher is really different," the nun observed Senti's reaction with a soft smile, "Sorry."

Taking a few deep breaths, Senti turned to Luo Lin beside her, "Come here, I'll give you a buff!"

"Coming, coming."

Senti tapped the Valkyrie's head vigorously, "Dummy, dummy, you're making me mad!"

Luo Lin lifted her head, feeling a strange sensation synchronized from Aponia. The nun, with a thoughtful expression, scratched her head in almost the same spot where Senti had tapped her.

The nun quickly understood how Senti formed the connection and even voluntarily strengthened the bond with her psychic power.

"Take your time to feel it," Aponia continued to demonstrate her almost inhuman talent to Luo Lin.

In just a moment, a huge mental power was mobilized, accompanied by countless subtle operations. Then, a pure emotional light appeared in front of Luo Lin.

After a long pause, the Valkyrie blurted out, "I don't understand, but I'm deeply impressed..."

"It's okay, try a few more times," Aponia comforted her.

A few minutes later, Luo Lin finally found some clues.

A similar light briefly appeared in her hand, although its purity was still not comparable to the small ball Aponia effortlessly created. But at least there was progress.

"Phew, this is really hard!" Luo Lin rubbed her shoulders, sighing, "And why do I feel my shoulders are so heavy... uh..."

The Valkyrie glanced at Aponia's exaggerated figure—especially her chest—and suddenly realized where that heaviness came from.

Unable to resist, Luo Lin glanced at Senti, who was extremely sensitive to gazes. She almost instantly noticed the Valkyrie's strange eyes.

Rubbing her own cheeks, Senti unexpectedly revealed a sweet smile.

"Haha, Luo Lin... it's time to get down to business, just you wait."

Oh no.

Luo Lin covered her face, sighing.

Maybe later she would end up getting beaten by Himeko or Elysia? Himeko's armor was indeed very tough, Elysia herself had a much stronger physique, and besides, Senti might not even dare to act against Miss Pink Elf...

The Valkyrie completely forgot that Himeko and Elysia were also busty women. It was highly probable that Senti's blood pressure would be even higher, and then who knows what might happen next.

She might strike even harder.

After that, Luo Lin tried several times and finally grasped the feeling of refining emotions.

However, the consumption of this technique far exceeded Luo Lin's imagination.

Soon, the Valkyrie felt exhausted—she felt as if she had stayed up all night, gone through an abnormal period of excitement, her eyes dry and sore, breathing rapid, and her brain heavy and foggy.

After having the ability to physically and mentally rest with the system's high-tech method, the Valkyrie hadn't felt this way for a long time.

After sensing this, Aponia decisively severed the connection.

"Don't force yourself. Practicing this without full preparation won't be very effective," she advised.

"Got it."

Luo Lin nodded and looked at the nun, "Then, can I go back now?"

"Of course." Aponia blinked, "If you need anything, you can call me in Elysian Realm. I'll always keep an eye on you."

"...That sounds a bit strange."

"After all, there aren't many new things in Elysian Realm, and you are the most eye-catching one. Oh, and..." Aponia seemed to remember something and added, "It seems that Kalpas wanted to trouble you before. I've calmed him down, so you can walk around Elysian Realm without worry."

The Valkyrie was touched and said, "Thank you, Aponia mom..."

Then, Luo Lin immediately covered her mouth, looking embarrassedly at the nun.

Aponia shook her head with a smile, "You... No need to thank me."

"Uh, well... I'll go now."

Luo Lin grabbed Senti and almost ran out of the consciousness maze, leaving from here.

Aponia watched the two disappear from her sight, feeling the strange spiritual space gradually disappearing, pushing her consciousness back to where her real body was.

The nun opened her eyes and looked around.

Under the azure sky, pure white marble structures floated in the air, forming a scene similar to a church.

Aponia stood up and gazed at the huge stone statue in front of her—it was extremely similar to the nun, holding a blood-red gem that emitted a strange light under the sunlight.

"...I can't see the future anymore, but I don't feel anxious." She caressed the statue, her breathing steady.

"Elysia, hope has come."

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

Luo Lin opened her eyes and found a circle of instruments around her, but she didn't see Mobius or Vill-V.

"...Where are they?"

"They're in the next room."

A resentful voice came from below turned out to be Raven. She had just been squatting behind a certain instrument and looked very disheveled when she came out.

The Valkyrie asked in surprise, "What happened?"

"I should be asking you that. What happened on your end?"

"I was just chatting with Aponia, exchanging some techniques... uh...oh."

Raven held her head in her hands, her face unusually flushed, "You suddenly spread emotions over there, and the three of us were all affected. After it was over, Mobius and Vill-V went straight to the next room. They looked very angry... They directed me remotely to operate the instruments here and continue the research."

She sent a resentful look, which Luo Lin keenly received—It appears that the mercenary had endured a long period of being impacted by [Emotional Diffusion].

Feeling the still-angry Senti in her mind, Luo Lin's expression turned grim.

Oh no, how many people did she upset by exchanging techniques with Aponia?
