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

Xia Yuan turned around, expressionless, and continued forward with a very calm demeanor, though the oil lamp he was carrying swayed slightly.

If the self-portrait of Velvi corresponds to one of her personalities, then you will need to collect items representing the other personalities in order to escape from here and establish contact with Velvi.

Xia Yuan, wait here for a moment. We need what's inside this room.

Xia Yuan stopped and looked at the room on the right side of the corridor.

[General Store]

[Expert, how many times have I told you not to put my magic props in the general store! —A message sent to the expert]

But those weird props of yours really take up a lot of space...

Before Xia Yuan could even turn the doorknob...

creak-

The door opened a crack on its own, as if welcoming Xia Yuan's arrival.

Could it be a trap?

Even if it's a trap, I have to go in. Wandering in the corridor and waiting to die is not my style.

Xia Yuan carefully pushed open the door and observed his surroundings by the light of the oil lamp in his hand. It seemed that this was the place where Virvi, as the [Magician] personality, stored her magic props.

but....

Why are all magic props wrapped in white cloth? Doesn't Vivi get scared when they come in at night to look for something?

【Hmm, of course it's to keep dust out~】

"Little Ellie, stop joking around now. Which of these white sheets is the item we're looking for?"

I want to ease your nervousness, Xia Yuan~

Hmm... let Ellie think about it carefully. Velvet often mentions things related to "big," so perhaps the largest of these props covered in white cloth is what we're looking for.

"Hmm...the biggest one? Found it!"

Xia Yuan entered the room and stood before the largest object, which was covered by a white sheet.

Grabbing the edge of the white cloth, I lifted it to reveal a square table with a simple wooden cane on it.

Magic Wand

[Collection Progress: 2/8]

[As a great magician, one must take good care of one's magic props. Hmm... the material is made of Honkai Beasts, sturdy and durable, making it a good choice for self-defense.]

Just as Xia Yuan picked up his cane from the table...

thump—

The door to the storeroom behind me slammed shut on its own.

Xia Yuan, never look back!

Hearing the loud bang of the door behind him, Xia Yuan, who was about to turn around, forcibly suppressed his curiosity.

"W-What's wrong, Ellie? Is there something behind me?"

Xia Yuan asked rather nervously.

【Hmm...no, but the pink fairy, who's good at finding out things, once heard a very scary urban legend.】

Legend has it that on every full moon night, if someone gently taps you on the shoulder while you're walking alone in a secluded alley, never turn around. If you do, a white-haired, red-eyed, expressionless woman, like the Grim Reaper, will appear and wield a scythe to take your life.

"...Um...Aili...is she like I am right now?"

Xia Yuan felt a fair hand pressing on his shoulder from behind.

No, Xia Yuan, the person behind you is just an ordinary assassin. I'm telling you a terrifying urban legend!

"No matter how you look at it, the female assassin who's right behind me, patting my shoulder, is much scarier!"

Xia Yuan gripped his cane tightly with one hand.

Xia Yuan did not turn around immediately, but instead stepped over the table in front of him and distanced himself from the female assassin behind him.

【Scarlet Cherry Blossom Assassins】

The assassin, hidden beneath the white sheet, gradually awoke from his slumber after a crucial item was lost from the room, triggering a defensive mechanism.

[A suicide soldier infected with Honkai disease, is this also among your collection, Vilvie? Hmm... Vilvie is so scary—Padofelis]

【Oh dear, why isn't Little Paddo asleep yet? Since you don't want to be Velvi's collectible, how about becoming Miss Pink Fairy's collectible instead? —Fairy Airi】

"No way! Hey, Ellie, leave me some canned food and popcorn!"

Xia Yuan always felt...

Are Little Ellie and Paddo watching a movie together? They even prepared popcorn, and Paradise might turn into a spectacular fireworks display. Why aren't they nervous at all?

Or is Ellie just fooling herself again?

never mind......

The most urgent thing now is to get out of the room as soon as possible.

Xia Yuan observed the surroundings of the room.

The white cloth fell away, and four female assassins, wielding scythes, gradually approached Xia Yuan's location.

shhhhh--

Four sickles slashed down simultaneously, splitting the table in front of Xia Yuan, which he was using as cover, into four pieces.

But they didn't give Xia Yuan a chance to catch his breath. The scythe swung down at Xia Yuan, who used the magic wand he had just used to block it. Taking advantage of the moment, he rushed towards the closed door without hesitation.

"Hurry...open it, open it quickly!"

Xia Yuan tried to turn the doorknob, but the lock seemed to be broken and could not be opened from the inside.

[Xia Yuan... hurry up and get out of the door, the assassin behind you is about to throw his scythe at you.]

Hearing Padoflis's urgent shouts, Xia Yuan rolled away to avoid them.

Four scythes, thrown at high speed, blasted open the tightly closed door, embedding themselves deeply into the corridor wall.

"Thank you for the four scythes, Miss Assassin."

Xia Yuan clasped his hands in a fist salute, bowed slightly, and ran towards the depths of the corridor.

[Little Xia Yuan, not bad~ Under the painstaking guidance of Miss Pink Fairy, you've finally started to grow. Ai Li is very pleased. Keep up the good work!]

In virtual projection.

Fairy Ellie wiped her cheeks with a tissue in her small hand, looking at Xia Yuan with relief.

Chapter 83 [Extreme Evil] Vervi

But clearly, Xia Yuan was immune to Fairy Ai Li's rhetoric.

"Never mind... why is Pado with you, Little Ellie?"

【Well, of course I'm visiting Pado's house right now, and I'm also setting up a welcome party for you, Xia Yuan. Christmas is almost here, and I've thoughtfully prepared a Santa hat for you. I'm really looking forward to you dressing up as Santa Claus and spreading presents everywhere~】

Looking at the Santa hat held in the fairy Ellie's hand...

Xia Yuan covered his forehead.

"Hey little Ellie...did you forget something very important? I'm still trapped in the Spiral Corridor, and Velvie is waiting for us to rescue her!"

【How could I forget? I just believe in you, Xia Yuan, that you can definitely defeat the 【Extremely Evil】Vilvie. Oh, right, why is Little Pado hiding? Don't be shy, come and say hello to Xia Yuan~】

[Sister Aili...don't push me, I, I know...cough cough...]

Padofelis seemed a little awkward.

[Hey Xia Yuan, how have you been lately? Hmm... Anyway, if you find anything good at Sister Wilvi's place, remember to bring it back. I'll buy it for a very fair price...]

Wow, Xia Yuan, the walking stick and oil lamp you're holding look really nice. I'll buy them for 80% less than the market price.

Padofelis held up two fingers and told Xia Yuan a number.

At first, Padofelis was a little shy, but when she talked about the products, her eyes sparkled.

"What an innovative way of doing business... I can only say that it's truly worthy of Pato."

Xia Yuan thought to himself.

In short, Phyllis and I will always be there to help you, Xia Yuan.

"Can I disable video calls and only keep the arrow navigation function?"

【No! Xia Yuan, if you're not here, how will we two beautiful young women get through this unbearable night?】

"I think it's just that you and Paddo are bored and can't sleep..."

【We don't have any!】

In short, Xia Yuan, hurry up and head to the next item storage location!

The fairy Airi realized she had let something slip...

They forcefully changed the subject, marking a very obvious arrow in front of Xia Yuan.

→

Following the fairy Ellie's guidance in the corridor, Xia Yuan pushed open the gear-shaped door at the corner once again.

"Ok?"

This looks like a bedroom, so where are the things representing the other personalities of Velvi?

【I know that~ Girls' secrets are definitely hidden in their closets!】

【Sister Aili, not everyone hides important things in their closet like you do...】

【Really? Then let Miss Pink Fairy take a good look at what goodies Little Paddy has hidden in her wardrobe!】

[Aili, come back quickly! Don't go through my closet!]

As Padofelis called out, the sounds of girls playing and laughing came from the other end of the communication line.

With the fairy Ellie and Pado by his side, Xia Yuan was not as nervous as he had been when he first entered the unfamiliar bedroom. However, apart from the slightly suspicious wardrobe in front of him, there were no other valuable clues in the bedroom for the time being.

With a skeptical attitude, Xia Yuan opened the wardrobe.

Five items were neatly arranged in the wardrobe, which caught Xia Yuan's attention. Did Miss Wilvi really put all of these things in the wardrobe?

[Exquisite gear-crafted weapon design blueprints]

[It looks like a hand cannon?]

[A report summarizing numerous proposed solutions]

The densely packed formulas, planning summaries, and diverse design schemes are dazzling.

【Multi-functional shovel】

[There are no weapon modules; they're probably equipped with everyday items, like cooking utensils...]

Astronomical telescopes

Looking up at the stars, what awaits us in the cosmos?

【Spherical Mini Robot】

The small robot, now in hibernation mode, appears to be damaged.

All five items related to the Vilvie personality are here. Adding the photo album and magic wand that were taken from the wall earlier, we now have a total of seven items associated with the Vilvie personality.

Wow, I never expected to find such pretty dresses in Vilvi's wardrobe!

[Wait, this dress looks familiar. Sister Aili, isn't this the same dress you gave to Sister Velvi?]

Just as Xia Yuan was preparing to pack these items up...

Bloodstains began to seep into the once-intact bedroom walls, accompanied by a continuous red alarm.

Xia Yuan quietly pushed open the bedroom door, and at that moment the corridor was flashing a slightly eerie red light.

The assassins they had encountered in the magic room were patrolling the corridor, heading towards Xia Yuan's bedroom. However, a strange creature was hovering above them, and the threads extending from it seemed to be controlling the assassins.

"Those are the remains of imaginary numbers?!"

There are enemies on both sides of the corridor. What should I do now?
