I'm in Honkai Impact's Infinite Abyss!

"Emotions transformed into Honkai energy? Are you sure you're not joking?"

Mobius and Vill-V exchanged glances, two scientists of high caliber in the previous era now had bewildered expression's on each other's face.

"It seems to be the case..."

"I don't want to hear 'seems' at a time like this! Luo Lin! Conversion of Honkai energy! Do you realize the gravity of what you're saying? This is a profoundly serious matter!"

Even Raven who hadn't delved deeply into the theory of Honkai energy and usually busied herself with missions to accumulate funds for buying islands knew that Honkai energy, in some sense, was a highly advanced form of energy.

It not only could directly power machinery but also could relatively easily degrade and transform into powers with supernatural qualities like flames, lightning, frost, and impact.

But to "upgrade" electrical power or thermal energy into Honkai energy... theoretically possible, but currently, humans had no means to achieve this.

And yet, Luo Lin had just claimed to have transformed "emotions," this indescribable spiritual force, into Honkai energy?

Mobius's snake-like pupils narrowed into slits as she stared intently at the Valkyrie's face, asking bluntly, "Can you reproduce the previous phenomenon?"

The sudden intense momentum emanating from snake made Luo Lin acutely aware of Mobius's seriousness on this matter.

"...I will try my best."

"Vill-V, immediately repair these malfunctioning instruments. I need their assistance!" Mobius turned her head, her words firing off like a machine gun, "And specialized detectors for 'emotions'—don't tell me there aren't any. After experiencing Luo Lin's [Emotional Diffusion], you absolutely cannot be unprepared!"

"I'll go find them!"

If Mobius had spoken to Vill-V in this tone under ordinary circumstances, the engineer would have certainly retorted, but evidently, Vill-V was equally concerned about what the Valkyrie had done.

She waved her hand, and the mechanical arms behind her separated like drones, floating out to repair the instruments damaged by Honkai energy. Vill-V herself stood in the middle, orchestrating the overall situation like a conductor.

Luo Lin even saw one of Vill-V's mechanical arms fly toward a corner of the laboratory and dive into a pile of materials, making clanking noises.

Soon, a machine that had not yet been fully encapsulated, with many internal structures and energy pipelines exposed, was brought out and moved to the side of the observation area—that should be the "emotion" detector made by Vill-V.

Mobius hammered on the keyboard, her fingers almost leaving afterimages, and several holographic projection screens appeared in front of her, with data flowing down like a waterfall.

Raven obediently retreated many steps, almost sticking to the corner of the room, watching the serious and busy scene in front of her.

"Don't just stand there, Luo Lin, do what you need to do!"

Mobius's shout interrupted Luo Lin's observation. The Valkyrie took a deep breath and began to contemplate what she had just done.

First, it was switching roles and getting stuck between that state...

Luo Lin's figure changed several times in succession, with her thoughts smoothly transitioning from one body to another, the whole process very smooth, without any lag.

"System, what just happened? Did the role switch bug out again?"

"It's impossible, host. This kind of bug has been specifically fixed after the anomaly in Nagazora City entered the abnormal consciousness space and encountered the role switch bug." The system's electronic voice sounded somewhat aggrieved. "Self-check completed, system operation normal!"

Then what happened?

Luo Lin thought for a moment, then raised her hand to signal to the people around her, "I'm going to activate [Emotional Diffusion] again, pay attention!"

—Perhaps I need to exhaust myself more and then switch roles again to achieve my goal?

Mobius replied calmly, "You go ahead, don't worry about us at this time."

Luo Lin closed her eyes, and a faint, warm light spread out, illuminating a small area inside the laboratory.

At this moment, Mobius was very close to Luo Lin, naturally enveloped by the light, but she just pursed her lips and didn't even use Honkai energy to resist, as if afraid of disturbing Luo Lin's experiment.

Mobius endured the impact of emotions like this and continued to work without changing her expression.

"Tsk tsk, Mobius, do you know that your current performance reminds me of someone?" Vill-V said lazily, "It's Mei, huh."

The snake snorted, her gaze returning to Luo Lin.

By now, Luo Lin had performed the "Emotional Diffusion" operation several times in a row, exhausting herself to the point of confusion. Fortunately, she still remembered what she needed to do. Taking advantage of not being fully recovered yet, she switched roles again to try.

Luo Lin finally grasped that mysterious feeling, and she indeed got stuck in the intermediate state of role switching!

She experienced the surrounding darkness of consciousness and the ball of emotions enveloping her, feeling extremely delighted.

Next is... should I turn on the [Diffusion] switch?

No, it's too dangerous. I should directly transform Honkai energy, at least it's controllable.

In this situation, Luo Lin just moved her thoughts a little, and a small part of her emotions transformed into Honkai energy, completely without her needing to do anything else.

Luo Lin felt the size of the "emotion" ball, which appears to be exactly the same as before. It seemed that the emotions consumed by transforming Honkai energy were replenished in an instant.

Where did they come from?

The girl transformed some more Honkai energy and discovered that emotions were constantly coming from a "line" connecting to a distant place, replenishing the emotions she consumed.

It appears that this was not a coincidence or an accident, but some mechanism she didn't understand yet.

"And then, just take them to Elysian Realm..." Luo Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Emotions transformed into Honkai energy? Or is it spirit transformed into Honkai energy? Could Aponia also do this?"

No, if the nun could do it, Mobius and Vill-V wouldn't be so surprised.

"What exactly is the principle behind this...?"

And, because Luo Lin was well-prepared this time, her consciousness should be clearer. She could clearly feel herself transferring and entering another body.

—Isn't this the method she's been looking for, to way enter a body before?

Luo Lin blinked, her consciousness returning to Elysian Realm. The Valkyrie looked around at the surroundings and the Honkai energy that had been "created" from emotions around her, smiling.

"Mobius, look! I did it!"

"...Haha, great! That's great!" Snake clapped her hands, trembling as she spoke, "So, little guinea pig, can you turn off your [Emotional Diffusion] now?"

"Oh, sorry."

Luo Lin hurriedly turned off the skill, while Mobius, pale-faced, supported her body and breathed softly.

Vill-V, feeling the Honkai energy that had inexplicably appeared around Luo Lin, sighed, "Is this a discovery that overturns the foundation of current Honkai studies?"

"Who knows..."
