Honkai Impact 3rd, Paradise Typewriter isn't for making this kind of game.

How did Vilvi know what I was thinking?

Before anyone knew it, Vivi had broken free of the ropes and put her arm around Xia Yuan's shoulder as a gesture of goodwill.

"Mr. Xia Yuan, your thoughts are written all over your face~"

Don't be nervous, relax, relax, it was just a little joke~ Little Gretchen, come here too. As compensation, how about your older sister Velvet performs a magical little trick for you?"

Xia Yuan stared at Vervies with a resentful look, feeling as if he had been taken advantage of...

"This interesting viewer, if we're really going by age... then I should at least be your great-great-great-grandmother, right?"

As she spoke, Vilvi conjured a candy from her right hand.

"It's candy~ Brother Xia Yuan... Gretchen wants some, something sweet."

Little Gretchen shook Xia Yuan's hand.

"If you guess correctly who has this candy, I'll give it to you. How about that?"

Xia Yuan remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.

Although he didn't know what mischief Wilvi was up to, Xia Yuan was still willing to risk it all for little Gretchen.

"Then, sir, please look carefully~"

Vilvi tossed the candy into the air, and Xia Yuan watched intently, not daring to be distracted for even a moment.

The candy landed in Wilvi's left hand. After simply switching places once, Wilvi presented her clenched hands to Xia Yuan, smiling as she spoke:

"Which one will you choose, dear viewer? You'd better think it over carefully!"

Left hand or right hand?

He saw that the candy was indeed in Velvi's left hand, but could it really be that simple? Was the expression on Velvi's lips misleading him?

"I choose the left hand."

Xia Yuan pondered for a moment, but ultimately decided to believe what he had seen.

A slight smile appeared on Vilvi's lips.

Chapter 72 Is this candy legitimate?

Immediately afterwards~

Wilvi opened her tightly clenched left hand, revealing a beautifully packaged candy in her palm.

"Oh, congratulations, dear viewer! Here's your candy, please accept it carefully and don't drop it!"

Vilvi handed the candy to Xia Yuan, who then gave the candy to little Gretchen.

"Brother Xia Yuan... thank you... the candy is sweet~ a testament to our friendship, Gretchen will cherish it."

Just then.

Wilvi opened her right hand, seemingly with a touch of wicked humor.

A huge pile of candy appeared before Gretchen's eyes as if by magic.

Little Gretchen looked at her own little hands, then at the pile of candies in Aunt Wilvy's right hand, and suddenly realized that the candies in her own hands were no longer sweet.

"Um... Aunt Vilvi, Brother Xia Yuan doesn't have any candy yet. Can I give him a piece of candy?"

Gretchen suppressed her slight grievances and spoke slowly.

Xia Yuan held Gretchen's hand and kept a certain distance from Velvi, looking at Velvi with disdain.

That's despicable... They even bully children.

"My dear audience, please don't think of me as some heinous, wicked villain. Here, everyone gets some candy~"

Vilvi appeared beside them at some point.

While Xia Yuan and Gretchen weren't paying attention, he stuffed the candy in his hand into their mouths.

"Even though you say that, isn't the 'Extreme Evil' personality within you the legendary villain?"

Xia Yuan thought to himself.

I was about to spit out the candy that Vilvie had forced on me, but after tasting it carefully, hmm... it was quite sweet.

Then let's reluctantly forgive Velvi.

After eating the candy, Gretchen's little face beamed with a happy smile.

"Alright, Miss Wilvi, who isn't a really bad person, can we leave now?"

After seeing Xia Yuan and Little Gretchen eat the candy...

Vervi gave a meaningful look.

Xia Yuan realized something was wrong....

He had only ever seen that look in the eyes of villains who had succeeded in their schemes.

Could it be that there was something in the candy earlier...?

But little Gretsch ate it and didn't seem to experience any problems?

Just then.

Velvi squinted, clasped her hands together, and said with a grin:

"My dear audience, I regret to inform you that those two candies have side effects. While they have no effect on little Gretsch or fusion warriors like us, for someone as ordinary as Mr. Xia Yuan, they are a kind of poison that slowly seeps into the body and evaporates."

Vivi shook the small bottle in her hand, showing it to Xia Yuan.

Suddenly, a small hand reached out to stealthily grab the antidote in Velvet's hand. The outstretched hand belonged to Gretsch. Gretsch tried to grab the bottle, but couldn't reach it no matter what she did.

Whenever little Gretchen is about to jump up...

[The Magician] Velvet's hand was pointing upwards a few centimeters, tempting little Gretsch like a carrot tied to a little rabbit.

"Ugh... Aunt Vilvie, you're bullying me... you're mean!"

Currently, Xia Yuan is being held hostage by Velvet, preventing Little Gretsch from rescuing him.

"My dear viewer, your life is now in my hands. If you know what's good for you, you'd better behave."

Xia Yuan felt his body temperature rising rapidly, and a burning sensation emanated from his body.

"Vilvie... what exactly did you put in that candy?"

Xia Yuan was panting heavily, his gaze somewhat unfocused.

"This interesting viewer, why don't you take a guess?"

Seeing the enigmatic smile on Wilvi's lips, Xia Yuan had a bad feeling.

Could it be...?

Xia Yuan's consciousness gradually began to blur.

Finally, what came into view was little Gretchen tugging at her sleeve and calling out her voice.

"Brother Xia Yuan... wake up quickly..."

But Xia Yuan could no longer hear Gretchen's voice.

"Aunt Wilvi, please wake Xia Yuan up quickly... or Gretsch will get angry!"

While little Gretsch was speaking, Velvet gently slipped a candy into Xia Yuan's mouth with her fingertip, then took out a magician's hat and neatly placed it on Xia Yuan's head. She then went to Gretsch's side and whispered:

"Don't be in such a hurry, my dear little audience. I just took your brother Xia Yuan to a very interesting place, [within my consciousness space]. There, just as Mr. Xia Yuan had imagined, is a space unknown to anyone, and there is also my main personality [the true self]. I even thoughtfully used iron chains to tie the two of them together~"

Sharing a room~

What will happen between Mr. Xia Yuan and his "id" personality after he eats the candy? I'm really looking forward to it!

"Mr. Xia Yuan, Mr. Xia Yuan, wake up!"

As Xia Yuan gradually awoke from his coma, he vaguely heard someone calling his name.

After a while.

Xia Yuan subconsciously turned over, and a crisp, rattling sound came from his left wrist.

The sound of the chains rattling woke Xia Yuan.

"Where...am I?"

Xia Yuan covered his forehead and glanced over unintentionally, only to find that his right wrist was shackled.

"By the way, where's little Gretchen?!"

Xia Yuan recalled the memories of what had happened before and quickly stood up to look around.

At this time.

A conspicuous piece of paper next to him caught Xia Yuan's attention.

[To my dearest and most interesting audience member: Mr. Xia Yuan]

When you see this letter, guess where I've locked you up?

[It's okay if you can't guess. I can tell you directly, Mr. Xia Yuan, that it's within my consciousness space. As you can see, there's another personality of mine beside you. Your fates are tightly bound together by a chain. Don't worry, little Greta is safe with me~]

Next, we're going to play a very fun and simple game.

[I ask, you answer~]

[For each incorrect answer, the chains will shrink due to the rotation of the internal gears until they tightly close together. But at that point, due to the effects of the drug, what strange behavior will Mr. Xia Yuan exhibit? The choice is now in your hands, dear viewer. Don't deliberately answer incorrectly!]

Please locate the question-and-answer device in the room according to the instructions.

[Blue, cold, gray, dripping, pointing to five]

[The riddle was kindly provided by my dear little viewer, Greta!]

"Brother Xia Yuan... Gretchen believes in you. You will definitely be able to get the antidote and leave her consciousness. I've already tied Aunt Velvi up and gagged her with a piece of drawing paper..."

[Mmm-mmm-mmm-]

Chapter Seventy-Three: [The True Self] Vervi

Well done, little Greta.....

Xia Yuan twisted the letter into a knot, having made up his mind.

Once he escapes from the consciousness space, he's going to teach [Magician] Velvet a lesson!

"Mr. Xia Yuan, that's wonderful, you've finally woken up."

A gentle voice came from not far away. Following the sound, one could see Vivi sitting quietly on the sofa, holding a book that had just been closed in her hands.

This quiet feeling...

Xia Yuan realized that the person sitting on the opposite sofa, Velvet, was not the personality of the "Magician," but the main personality of the "Original" one, who was like a young girl.

However, she has always remained hidden within Vilvi's consciousness space and has never seen outsiders.

But there was also a shackle on her right wrist.

The chain extended along the floor until it reached Xia Yuan's left wrist.

“Mr. Xia Yuan, I’m sorry, I didn’t expect us to meet in this way. My Magician personality has caused you trouble.”

Vilvi slowly got up and wanted to walk towards Xia Yuan, but Xia Yuan quickly stopped her.

“Miss Wilvi...I think...it would be best if we kept some distance.”

With each step that Vervier took forward.

A burning, indescribable longing arose deep within Xia Yuan's heart.

Hmm....

What exactly is [The Magician] Vilvie trying to do? Isn't she just sabotaging her own personality?

Vilvi stopped in her tracks.

Seemingly sensing Xia Yuan's thoughts, he put his finger to his lips and pondered for a moment before saying:

"I think it's probably because the Magician has been too bored over the years, and it just so happens that you, Mr. Xia Yuan, appeared in Paradise, and something caught her attention."

Xia Yuan blushed slightly.

It's all Xiao Aili's fault. After he gets all the Yingjie's approval and awakens Aili, he's going to fatten her up by ten pounds, no, twenty pounds!
